Secret archive over Norwegian leaders
In 2016, it was exposed that the Service stores large amounts of personal information about more than 400 Norwegians who the Intelligence Service wanted to recruit or keep as confidential informants. The archive also contains sensitive information about the persons' immediate family members. The entries in the archive, which have existed "for a number of years", are psychological profiles of leaders in Norwegian society who travel a lot abroad - among other business people, bureaucrats and academics. The archive has for years been kept away from the Storting's control body for the Secret Service, the EOS Committee.[1]
Deep state control
In an interview, Egil Eikanger stated that he had been bugged when he was leader of the Service. The bugging happened through his phone, which also allowed for bugging his home (room surveillance), including highly confidential conversations. Eikanger hinted strongly that Trond Johansen, formally his subordinate, was the person responsible for the surveillance, possibly on a mission from the CIA or NSA. [2]
